In this raw and real episode of Crafted by Christ, I’m diving deep into what it means to use praise as a weapon — not just when things are good, but especially when life is heavy, confusing, and painful.From Jehoshaphat’s battle in 2 Chronicles to Paul and Silas in the prison, we’re reminded that praise isn’t a performance — it’s a strategy. It confuses the enemy, shifts the atmosphere, and breaks chains.If you've been feeling attacked, drained, or just numb lately, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about the kind of praise that shakes hell and lifts your spirit even when your world feels like it’s falling apart.👑 Scripture references:2 Chronicles 20:17, 21Acts 16:25–26Psalm 28:7🎙️ Real talk.

A reminder that your voice, your tears, and your “yet will I praise Him” still hold power.Music Credit: Intro & Outro Music: Produced by @ijbeats on all platformsWant to connect with me, say hi, or join the faith family?Website: Lakeyafaith.com TikTok: @lakeya.faithYouTube: Lakeya FaithWe are united by the love of Jesus!You were crafted by Christ—on purpose, for purpose.
